The question

How can my aunt be brought back to the correct approach of the Quran and Sunnah, while addressing the following issues: her going to fortune-tellers, her belief in the harm and benefit of righteous saints and offering sacrifices to them, her practice of the "Al-Safeeha" custom which involves injuring girls and claiming to prevent sexual assaults, her watching movies and television programs that violate religious principles, hanging pictures and statues in the house, and attending wedding parties full of sins?

The answer

Sufism and grave worship are prevalent in some Muslim countries, and some claim that graves and idols can benefit or harm. This has no basis in Islam, for Allah Almighty alone is the one who benefits and harms. As for going to soothsayers and diviners, it is among the major sins. Whoever asks them, their prayer will not be accepted for forty nights, and whoever believes them has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad. Therefore, a Muslim must rely on Allah and supplicate to Him with certainty, and be firm in their request.
